Bicycle Tour: Day 5 - Easy Cruising
Nuwe Kloof Pass
After three days in the Baviaanskloof Wilderness area, we bid a sad farewell to an extremely beautiful region. Same time as I say this, some of the hardest riding that I do look forward to tackling again even if just to enjoy the beauty and hopefully be accident free.
The track was plain and easy with a consistant climb out of the valley. We managed to maintain a good and made easy pickings of the day’s trip. Our day ended in Willowmore, a sleepy little town that seems to have been forgotten about with time. There were public announcements made on a loud speaker carried on a fire dept vehicle that the municipal electricity was to be cut for an hour. This proved to be a comedy of error. Our accommodation was The Willow Historical Guest House.
